Donald Trump’s recent interview on a local Michigan TV station has stirred controversy with his remarks on abortion and reproductive rights.
Trump downplayed the seriousness of abortion rights, suggesting it should be a state-level issue and claiming that the Republican Party supports in vitro fertilization (IVF), which contradicts the party’s historical stance.
Trump’s statements regarding IVF and the Republican Party’s support for it are inaccurate. While he attempted to portray Republicans as advocates for women’s access to IVF, this assertion is not supported by the party’s policies or actions in Congress. In fact, Republicans have often opposed measures supporting women’s reproductive rights, including access to IVF.

The interview also featured Trump making false claims about late-term abortions, suggesting that women are having abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy and even implying that they can “kill the baby after the baby is born.” These assertions are not based on facts and have been widely debunked by medical professionals.
Trump’s assertion that “every legal scholar … all over the world” supports overturning Roe v. Wade is unfounded. Legal scholars have varied opinions on the landmark Supreme Court decision, and many have expressed opposition to overturning it. Trump’s claim has been criticized as misleading and lacking evidence by legal experts.
